Idle at 1000 rpms?

Oh, and no, a new battery will not help your misfire issue.

All cold engines idle higher than ones at operating temperature.

It's decidedly far-fetched, yes. I'm willing to try whatever theories are introduced to me if they don't require any investment. I just wanted to get it started up and show that it does, indeed, still run. :P

On a semi-related note, the Cutlass is finally running again, as well. It's been dormant since last fall.

True, I've just never seen one idle that high on a cold start, but I suppose it could be partially attributed to that it hasn't been run in a long time.

I've seen many idle at around 1250 when started up.

The Cobalt idles around 1500 on a cold start.

Wow...that's more than my motorcycle. I've never known cars to idle that high. My car idles around 750 when it is cold.

Personally i would take a rubber mallet and hit the engine block until it works correctly. You should also do this to the rear brakes.

The only thing that will fix that car is 8 pounds of C4 which i can arrange...

cold idle for mine is around 800-1000 then once warmed it hovers around 500-600 it sort of sounds like its skipping though... may be the xtreme energy hydrolic cam :scratchchin:

:lol:
